When Ideas Mate

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

An inter­est­ing per­spec­tive on progress and com­mu­ni­ca­tion by the British author Matt Rid­ley who argues that, through his­tory, the engine of human progress and pros­per­ity has been, and is, “ideas hav­ing sex with each other.”

He starts off with com­par­ing a stone age tool to a com­puter mouse. One human could make the tool but the mak­ing of the com­puter mouse requires the coop­er­a­tion of sev­eral thou­sands of peo­ple from oil drilling to make the plas­tic to chip mak­ing and assem­bly of sev­eral parts made of dif­fer­ent materials.

Lion Dance

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

I was in Guangzhou and Fos­han last week end for the open­ing of a branch of the 300 years old Hung Sing Gwoon (Kung Fu stu­dio) — the orig­i­nal is in Fos­han, in a 300 years old tra­di­tional Chi­nese house.

Hung Sing Gwoon — Foshan

The cer­e­mony lasted the whole day until late at night. This is a video of a remark­able tra­di­tional lion dance per­formed on benches that you don’t see very often these days.
